Burghaus Castle, Bavaria, Germany -- Another important building in the 4th courtyard is the house of Aventinus, named after the famous (at least to Germans in this area) Johannes Turmai fon Abensberg, a cleric who tutored the future princes and became an important humanist and Bavarian historian. Note the Gothic staircase (humble living accommodations such as these often didn't survive.) This started its life in stone as another defensive tower.
